Mr. Shettigar stands out as one of the only ten weavers proficient in weaving 80 count Udupi Sarees across two districts. His mastery lies in meticulously crafting intricate buttas by hand in the traditional 80 count Udupi Saree. Notably, he holds the distinction of being the first to weave a natural dyed 80 count Udupi Saree in the history of Udupi Saree weaving. Moreover, he embraced innovation by reintroducing the ikat design in Udupi sarees, a technique that had been dormant for two decades. This resurgence was made possible with the support of ikat Designer Shree Gopinath Shettigar and the efforts of Kadike Trust at Talipady.
